“We have to do something about this,” Jackson said after railing against doctors who aid with “gender transition. “We have to treat these people. We have to get them off the streets and we have to get them off the internet. We can’t let them communicate with each other. I’m all about free speech, but this is a virus, this is a cancer that’s spreading across this country that’s going to do great damage to normal, hard working, law abiding people.”



fuck him. he should be removed from the streets

[Irish_Dem]

1. More added to the list of those who will be disappeared.

Who is next?

[SheltieLover]

2. Wtaf???

[Skittles]

3. Gestapo, anyone?

[jmbar2]

4. Should have guessed - Dr. Ronnie Jackson, Trump's candyman

20. It's not entirely by coincidence that a couple of days ago I began reading Norman Ohler's book

"Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich."

[jmbar2]

39. Whoa, that sounds interesting...

Drugs seem to be a common theme in strong man regime. Syria's deposed Assad regime was largely supported by drug trafficking.

[Harker]

41. I don't normally make recommendations of books that I haven't finished reading...

but I'll make an exception here.

[Haggard Celine]

5. It just amazes me how people can

openly say evil shit like this. And he's a fucking congressman. Round up the immigrants, round up the trans people, and while you're at it, grab the LGBs too. Then socialists, then Democrats. I guess that's the correct order. We're fixing to find out.

[Keepthesoulalive]

14. You forgot about the blacks and Asians

[Haggard Celine]

21. It wasn't meant to be a full list.

I stopped at Democrats because that's us, and once we're gone we won't be able to worry about anyone else. But we're all in danger as long as this regime is in power.

[Keepthesoulalive]

26. Hey, I'm thinking indigenous people.

The only thing working for us is the price of coffee. They are furious because they cannot get their caffeine fix.

[Haggard Celine]

30. I used to drink a lot of coffee, but now I drink chai all the time.

I don't know if you like tea, but if coffee is so expensive you could switch to tea and get your caffeine.

[Keepthesoulalive]

38. Can't drink coffee

But the stuff I used to drink would make grocery store prices seem like a bargain.

6. "I'm all about free speech, but this is a virus, this is a cancer that's spreading across this country..."

You know who else compared a vulnerable minority to a disease?

The Nazis occupying France

[leftstreet]

7. So many nutcases applying for Kirk's job

Recent opening: Nutcase provocateur

[regnaD kciN]

8. "I'm all about free speech..."

“…as long as it involves sending groups I don’t like to concentration camps.”

9. ESCAPING THE MAINLAND

I'm seriously considering driving to the Airport. Abandon my car debts, everything draw all the money from the bank and fly to Hawaii. Things are getting too worse. Input please. Thanks.

[littlemissmartypants]

12. I think where in Hawaii is important to research first. ❤️

[Burnnotice]

37. Honolulu

Honolulu

[littlemissmartypants]

42. And that will be the best place because...?

[fujiyamasan]

15. I don't blame you for wanting to leave

But just research the financial consequences and if you’re going to another country, make sure you understand the latest immigration policies. No country is very welcoming right now to foreigners.

[Ms. Toad]

24. Hawaii is not a foreign country. n/t

[fujiyamasan]

27. Of course, but I assumed the whole Hawaii thing was a stop until leaving the country

I guess it’s the farthest from the mainland and Hawaii’s policies are more tolerant overall.

[mnhtnbb]

23. In 2016, I asked my husband

if I should book us a go look at Hawaii to get off the mainland trip after the election turned out the way it did. My husband said he wasn't moving. So, we didn't go.

We had literally bought a place in Panama after Shrub was elected a second time. Had been approved for permanent resident visas, stamped in our passports Then our house here burned down in 2007, and Obama was elected. We sold the Panama place. In 2015, when Trump was running, we made an offer on a place on Bonaire, but my husband backed out. I really regret that.

My husband --from whom I was separated --died in 2018. I had thought of going to look at France or Portugal, but didn't want to leave my elderly dog for several months, so kept putting off that trip. Then COVID. Gave up the idea of ever moving abroad and bought a small house under construction. Moved in Jan 6th, 2021.
I'm 74 now and I've decided I'm staying. I've suggested to both my sons they should get out ( they both have partners who won't leave), but I'd go with them if they went. But I don't have the energy to go alone.

I don't think it's crazy to consider getting off the mainland, but Hawaii is very expensive.

[littlemissmartypants]

10. Oh, Jesus. As if they weren't marginalized and harrassed enough already.

These mfers have lost their minds.

[liberalgunwilltravel]

11. Sadly

We’re headed for an ugly war. And it’s not only the fault of MAGA cult, blame also falls on those who let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Be ready to fight or be rounded up, because that’s where we are headed.

[milestogo]

13. Why can't we just remove white Republican males off the street?

[sakabatou]

16. Jackson might as well start wearing a Nazi uniform

[twodogsbarking]

17. Let us all remember, these people have all of our personal informantion at their garbage disposal.

[Trueblue Texan]

18. Why do these people think it's any of their business how people identify? nt

[TygrBright]

19. Come for my grandchild and you will SO WISH you hadn't... n/t

[paleotn]

22. Wonder what porn he likes. Same tastes as Mark Robinson perhaps?

Me thinks the congressman doth protest too much.

[dcmfox]

25. He didn't

watch MASH growing up?

[YoshidaYui]

28. He is FUCKING NUTS

What an Asshole

[mdbl]

29. texas congressman sounds mentally ill

or is just plain evil. There's no in-between for that one.

[JoseBalow]

31. Viruses and cancers hurt people. Who is being hurt by trans people living their lives?

What is this "great damage" that he fears?

[wcmagumba]

32. Eff this transphobic pri*k...

We'll just set up our own Gulag (Seems that we already have one) and send those "others" there, get them out of our sight...Throw in a couple of "Special Showers" so they can stay clean...I did Nazi this coming (I did)...

[Grins]

33. Sounded better in 1930's German.... NM

[markodochartaigh]

34. He's the representative from the Amarillo area.

He is very popular there, because of his beliefs, not in spite of them. It's gotten a lot better since I grew up there a half century ago but a lot of the people there want every bit of progress erased.

[Norrrm]

35. Yet he does not call for the same treatment for child molesters. Because they are in his political/social circles?

36. Remember this is Trump's former WH physician and a retired Admiral who was demoted

for his actions to Captain and which was recently reversed by Trump.

His is from Levelland, Tx which is just West of Lubbock and I promise you the people of that area are having convulsive orgasms over his nasty remarks. Rural Texas is about as RED an area as you can get.

[wcmagumba]

40. Texas sucked (for me) when I lived there 40 plus years ago and it sounds like things haven't changed...oh well, sigh...

[Iris]

43. That's crazy talk.
